3DS = the new PSP?

I agree with JohnF, it's a peripheral to be supported by some games, it's just an early peripheral. Seeing how the upcoming library of games for the 3DS is very cool from my perspective, I don't see how the 3DS will become anything close to the PSP (though I really like that system, nothing wrong with remakes as long as they're fun :?).

And it's just a few months old, will people please give it time to shape up? The DS had an awful start, but it grew into my favorite handheld as its lifetime went on.

Aren't we feeling entitled?

Nintendo decides to try and push more sales of their latest handheld device with a revision, and people who bought the first edition feel cheated? By that reasoning, I hope you people don't buy new electronics at all, because new models and revisions appear ever so often :roll:

And the 3DS doom threads continue... :roll: It will do fine people! I really don't see anything wrong with releasing an add on for a device! Its like getting Wii Motion Plus or that rumored Xbox 360 Blu Ray drive! I see no difference! :x

EDITED ;)

No, Vita will be the successor to PSP.

To me, SW just sees 3DS doomed from the start no matter what it does.funsohng

I don't see why it's so bad. To me, SW just sees 3DS doomed from the start no matter what it does.funsohng

I don't know why I'm surprised by this, to be honest. People love to hate on Nintendo on SW, it's like a law.

We have to see how far Pokemon sales push systems. Right now it's too early to say.

if 3DS is the new PSP then the Vita is the new PSP GO....

How many ports are being released on the 3DS? 3? Doesn't seem like all that much to me.meetroid8

Hm, that's arguable, but to be honest I find it better than the DS's launch. As much as I love that system now, I barely bought a game for it the first year.

The only problem I see with the 3DS is that it was released too early and without a decent games library. They didn't give people a reason to upgrade their DSi's yet.

The 3DS still offers a unique gaming style whereas the PSP just emulated what a console did. Developers have come up with some really creative ways of creating DS games and, when they finally make the move to the 3DS, I think this will ensure the console's continuing success. The rproblem will be getting them to make the move. Why would you develop a game for the 3DS when a DS game is easier, cheaper and playable (sellable) to people with DS, DSi, AND 3ds systems? :)

Anyway yeah, I think time will prove that the 3DS is no PSP. It will be interesting to see how the Vita does. There's a lot of hype about it but there was a bunch of hype about the PSP too. I think Sony have learnt from their mistakes and we're already seeing a good software lineup. But I digress...

I've felt cheated by nintendo ever since they released their Gamecube slim with stupid motion controller, wait, Nintendo Wii, I think that's what is called. That's why I hate nintendo and I hope the 3DS fails cause I had very high hopes for it and it was a complete letdown. Also I can't stand using the damn styluspiranha_inc

So you want the 3DS to fail just because it didn't meet your expectations. Thats really not justified. :|

the 3DS is going to be fine. Although the 2nd circle pad appears uncomfortable atm and a new revision seems likely, the current 3DS should do fine this holiday. the price dropped increased sales dramitically in Japan and sales are expected to improve on the NPD charts. Games like Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 will push sales, giving Nintendo a healthy userbase by the time the Vita comes out.

Plus, you guys should be happy that the 3DS is getting a 2nd analog stick and triggers. It opens up more gaming possibilities and also improves the camera controls for some games. Resisdent Evil Revelations and MGS3 will get decent shooting controls. Kid Icarus Uprising now allows left-handed players to enjoy the game. You'll be able to aim the flashlight in Luigi's Mansion 2. Smash Bros players will get their C-Stick. And Console ports will be playable now.

PS: the placement of the 2nd analog stick makes it likely that the 3DS can be used as a Wii U controller.

And the 3DS doom threads continue... :roll: It will do fine people! I really don't see anything wrong with releasing an add on for a device! Its like getting Wii Motion Plus or that rumored Xbox 360 Blu Ray drive! I see no difference! :x

Its called mistakes and improvements. The amount of time is not relevant, the 360 was bashed immensely for not having 1080P HD and Blu Ray. Yes its late, but its still an improvement. This is early and can allow more games to be made.

To my knowledge PSV is the successor to the psp, as it is made by sony.

I was not calling you a fanboy perse, simply generalizing how fanboys of any systems can defend their system and its faults to the death if though those faults are clear and quite severe (for example lemmings defending MS even though the RROD was so bad). jonathant5

Ironically I think the main reason I'm so positive about mine is that I never owned a DS prior to this purchase. So I'm playing thru an amazing library of old DS games.

that second analogue stick is obviously a "whoops, we dun goofed" move by Nintendo but I kind of hope that devs choose not to over use the dual analogue stick input method. One of the key things I like about the system is it's unique interface and I think it would be a shame for them to conform and try to compete with console emulators like the Vita.

I said something of a similar nature on another thread, and got my head chewed off for it. People think that just because one handheld does it, the other has to as well to compete, especially with the growing trend of console ports (port here encompassing the games made similar to their console versions, such as Uncharted).

Each device has strengths and weaknesses, and people are jumping on the 3DS because it appears Vita will be able to handle what people expect to play on both devices due to the second analog stick.

[QUOTE="funsohng"]To me, SW just sees 3DS doomed from the start no matter what it does.bbkkristian

That's because there was a six month period where it was hyped as the savior of gaming.

Aren't we feeling entitled?

Nintendo forced no one to buy their device on launch. Adding of features is as much a possibility as the probability of new versions.

I can complain and whine at Nintendo that my DS/DS Lite can't get on the DSi Shop, but they wouldn't care. It's the same concept here. You want the best? Wait for the last version.

I really don't understand why people are going crazy over this add-on. People are looking deep into this.

A new day, another 3DS end of the world thread on SW. The PSP had games just didn't do well in the US while in Japan that's all they play is PSP and Monster Hunter. So yea the 3DS will be fine :)

slvrraven9

coz the Vita is a predictable failure and will be close to the Dreamcast and PSP GO in terms of commercial success.

wouldnt thaat be the vita?

3DS = the new DS

VITA = the new PSP

:D

[QUOTE="slvrraven9"]PSP was popular for (around here) its insane amount of console to portable game rehashes, and of course its popular rpg collection but the latter isnt the issue.....looks like the 3DS is following in its footsteps! where is the originality? anyone? a second gamepad for a game weve played already on home consoles...yeah good job there ninty. way to make all the right moves. although im excited to see the doors this will open up i must say that im a little pessimistic about the 3DS already recieving a mod this early into its life cycle. anyone else feel like ninty just, hell i dunno...their decisions lately have left me to seriously consider their direction and purpose discuss..amaneuvering

theres nothing wrong with ninteno games...they are selling more and getting better scores then they did years ago. maybe your not interested in them and rather play what MS and Sony are offering

I am pretty sure PSV is the new PSP, as 3DS is a Nintendo product.

Not vouching for the 3DS anytime soon.. Weak hardware and materials. And they really screwed over the first customers. squackthehag

I'm sorry but the redesign likely WILL have dual analog control. The unit will be redesigned to accomodate the additions.

New PSP = Vita. PSP was a portstation. Vita is portstation HD. 3DS will at least get new and original games that won't be made on consoles. MH4 for example.Ninja_Odin

Plus the Vita is just a disappointing multimedia device just like the PSP and not a gaming device like the DS or 3DS.
